I understand that just over 100 citations of the 150' rule last summer were challenged in court and that ALL of them were thrown out. And that not a single one was thrown out for officer mis-estimation of speed, but ALL were thrown out for questions over the officer's estimation of distance. So if we are all relying so heavily on this 150' panacea which does not work, why not go to a law that would be easier for the MP's to enforce? Especially since the courts have shown that they will respect an officer's speed estimation.
